SOTM: Nicole Noller Has Got Skillzzzzzzzzzzz
I’ve had an amazing journey skating and I wouldn’t change finding it for anything. It’s taken me all over the country, first with Girls Riders Organization then the many contests World Cup Skateboarding and Exposure do, and traveling just to skate with friends. I love meeting new skater girls and encouraging them. I hope to stay a positive influence on the young ones, and an inspiration for all.
COTM – Crete Creepers Creeping Coast-to-Coast
Popular Ladies Night skate gatherings have established the Crete Creeper’s presence in Reno and South Lake Tahoe since 2018. And when a founding member moved 2,000 miles away to Jamestown, NY last year the momentum didn’t die out- it just got… creepier.
POSEIDEN’S LADIES DAY AT THE BERRICS

COTM – BRING YOUR FRIENDS TO SK8 N’ MEET SANTANA
The name isn’t referring to the jolly harbinger of the late-December Capitalist holiday OR a guitar legend that also responds to “Carlos.” It refers to the Orange County community, Santa Ana. And, founded in 2019, this crew is inclusive and non-denominational.

MEETING OF THE MINDS! NORA VASCONCELLOS CAPSULE COLLECTION BY ALEXIS SABLONE DROPS
Nora has an eye for quality. That’s why she hand-selected skater/architect/holistic fine artist Alexis Sablone to design a new capsule collection for NHS that includes custom Krux Trucks, a sticky sweet slab of Mob Grip, and she even squeezed some of those creative juices on a ripe set of OJs.
COTM – LONELYBONES ENGINEERING CONNECTION IN BOSTON
I’m pretty certain if my family hadn’t moved back to California from Boston when I was in 8th Grade I eventually would have picked up a board and found my way to LonelyBones. String together the words ‘gentle’ and ‘nurturing’ with skating, throw in two kick-ass engineer-leaders, and you’ve got my attention.
